[This hearing was held in executive session and subsequently ordered made public by the chairman of the committee.] The subcommittee met at 9 a.m., pursuant to notice, in room 3112, New Senate Office Building, Senator Henry M. Jackson (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Senators Jackson, Pell, and Miller. Staff members present: Dorothy Fosdick, staff director; Robert W. Tufts, chief consultant; Robert C. Fisk, research assistant; Judith J. Spahr, chief clerk; and Laurel A. Engberg, minority consultant. OPENING STATEMENT OF THE CHAIRMAN Senator JACKSON. The subcommittee will come to order. Today our subcommittee continues its hearings on the role of U.S. ambassadors and the missions they head in the conduct of our relations with other nations. This subject forms part of the subcommittee's broad nonpartisan study into problems of national security administration. We opened this phase of our hearings last month with testimony from two recently retired career ambassadors-the Honorable Ellis O. Briggs and the Honorable H. Freeman Matthews. Today we hear from an outstanding noncareer ambassador. We are pleased to welcome the Honorable Edwin O. Reischauer, Ambassador of the United States to Japan. Ambassador Reischauer did his undergraduate work at Oberlin College and his graduate work at Harvard University. He has had a distinguished career as a student and teacher of Far Eastern affairs, and was called from his professorship at Harvard to his present post. Over the years the Government has frequently drawn upon his knowledge and experience for advice on important matters. He is the author of a number of books, including Japan, Past and Present (1946); Wanted: An Asian Policy (1955); and United States and Japan (1957). Ambassador Reischauer is a gifted linguist and a distinguished scholar, qualities which have contributed greatly to his work in a country of very great importance. Ambassador Reischauer, we are all happy to have you with us today. |
